1.Heat 1 tbs of oil in a pressure cooker and add the ingredients under sauté one by one.

2.Add the chopped onion fry until it becomes transparent. Add chopped tomato after this and cook till the tomato is mashed. Once the tomato is cooked add ginger-garlic paste to it and cook for 5 mins.

3. Add masalas and then all the vegetables one by one. Cook the vegetables for 10 mins. Once the vegetable is 25% cooked add the coconut milk + ½ cup water and bring it to boil. (Basically for 1 cup of rice 2 cups of water required. Since we have 1 ½ cups of coconut milk fill the remaining ½ cup with water).

4. In the mean time wash the soaked rice and drain completely. Fry the drained rice in a pan with ½ tbs of oil. Fry till the rice grains doesn’t stick to each other (porous).

5. Put the rice and salt into the boiling ingredients and mix well. Close the pressure cooker without whistle. Keep the stove in medium hot. Once the gas comes out of the vent put the cooker whistle. Cook till 2-3 whistles. That’s it. Veg rice is ready. Serve hot with raita and potato chips.
